Ukraine Day 3: Subways

The subway system (called the Metro) is incredibly cheap: Less $.20 per ride. The subway is built way underground. According to our Lonely Planet some of the stations require an 8 minute ride on escalators. None of our trips were that long, but the escalators were not like any I've seen before. First, they were incredibly fast. A brisk walk was necessary to step on them. Second, they descended at a very steep angle.

The fast steep descent left me humming, "Highway to Hell"...

  1. I find it interesting that they put advertisements on the sides.

  2. Just keep following the white light Steve. From the pictures, I'd say you did pretty well. :)
